The one who spoke was naturally the Sky Horse Sect Leader. His voice was cold and solemn, his gaze ablaze as he stared at the dark crimson figure. Behind him, a pure white radiance unfolded, exuding waves of natural laws and seemingly connecting heaven and earth. Stranger yet, the entire grand conference hall, even the surrounding space, appeared to be linked to him at this moment. The only exception was the woman he called the Mother of Deep Red—she remained isolated, an outsider.
"It's been a long time, Little Li," the Mother of Deep Red chuckled softly. "Back then, when I saw you, you were trailing behind the Sky Dragon, looking weak and frail. I never thought you'd rise to decide great matters now. As your friendly neighbor, isn't it quite the oversight for your Dragon Horse Star System to undertake such significant events without inviting me to witness or even take part? Truth be told, I've always hoped to become part of the Dragon Horse Federation."
